Week 8 Start/Sit: Tight Ends

Tight ends can swing your fantasy football matchup in Week 8. With injuries and QB changes at play, here’s who to start and sit at TE to optimize your lineup.

Written by Adam Krautwurst

STARTS

Dalton Schultz is a steady target in Houston, with five-plus receptions in four straight games. Injuries to the Texans’ receivers boost his role, and the 49ers struggle against tight ends. Schultz is a safe top-10 TE start.

Dalton Kincaid leads Buffalo in receiving yards and touchdowns despite an oblique injury. He’s hit 14 points in three games and faces a Carolina defense weak against tight ends. Kincaid’s a strong TE1.

SITS

Zach Ertz struggles with Marcus Mariota starting over Jayden Daniels, cutting his production nearly in half. Kansas City’s defense is tough on tight ends, making Ertz a Week 8 fade.

Theo Johnson has potential but lacks reliability. Philadelphia shut him down earlier and remains elite against tight ends. His touchdown-dependent production is too risky.
